Topic: Use VapourSynth script in MPV

What's the syntax for running a vapoursynth script in MPV? I'm trying to run a custom deinterlacing script in real time.

I have this in the mpv.conf file:

vf=vapoursynth=C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Deinterlace.vpy

And have tried a number of variations. Script works fine in VSEdit, but I can't seem to activate the filter sad


I ask this in the SVP forums because I'm using SVP's MPV build, and I'm not 100% sure you can run SVP and another VS script at the same time. If I could figure out how to load a script, I could work around that by just copying SVP's vapoursynth script I suppose, but I'd rather adjust the settings via the application (as the script changes the video's framerate).

vf=vapoursynth=[C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Decimate.vpy]

note the brackets

Thanks, that did it.

SVP seems to override the script though. If I close SVP, the script runs, if I open SVP, SVP runs instead of the script.

Any way to work around that other than copying the generated SVP script? I'd like to adjust the settings in real time.

Re: Use VapourSynth script in MPV

Another quick question: does SVP use the GPU when running as a MPV VS script? I think I'm getting worse performance when running it that way, with less GPU usage, but I'm not 100% sure.

yes, it works exactly the same way as in Avisynth plugin
